I have noticed a few wet spots on my floor of my garage so I crawled under car to look. I noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission. I took the car to exclusive honda /acura in omaha ne. They checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel). They advised me I would need a new transmission. The car is a 1999 accord that has been maintained according to manual and only has 58000 miles. I have also noticed and erratic shift that is very unsafe while driving.
1999 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 246, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Automatic transmission is failing at a very low mileage, when the engine is hot, the transmission starts slipping, and the car loses control.
While driving 50 MPH the vehicle slowed down. Consumer later learned that the transmission failed.
Accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission sometimes shifts hard and 4th gear slips and shudders, also unexpected harsh downshifts or erratic shifting. Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.
Car pauses then surges forward wile accelerating at lower speeds due to defective transmission, problem is constant - happens everytime.
Please any information will help. I read your 1999 honda accord transmission complaint. I'm also having problems with my car my transmission keeps slipping between 1 & 2 gear and olny has 80,000 and my local honda dlr wont cover the repairs which right now I cant afford so I have no choice but to drive like that for now, any information would help. Thank you.
Transmission failure.
I first noticed a difference in my 99 accord coupe v6 transmission when it was cold out. The car jerked between 1st and 2nd gear. It ran fine once the car warmed up. When I called honda to ask about the issue, I was told older cars do that and it was nothing to worry about. About a month and a half later the transmission started jerking between 3rd and 4th when below 40 MPH. My car then would not leave a stopped position until hitting at least 2500 RPM's then it kicked into gear. I took my car to my local honda dealership - they flushed the transmission fluid - charged me $85 and on a side note on the bill they stated "transmission needs replacement - internal damage". They did not talk to me about this nor did they offer to repair this at a charge. When I purchased my car I bought the 100,000 mile extended warranty, which I paid close to $1500 for. Honda realized there was an issue and extended the 100,000 mile warranty automatically for the 2000-2002 models. I had approximately 108,000 miles on my car when I took it to honda for this issue. After dealing with honda customer care for over 3 weeks I got nothing but a run around from them. I was told to call the company that handles the extended warranty service, this company told me they were not sure why hcc referred me to them b/c it was hcc decision of how they wanted to handle my case. In the end honda did nothing for me. I took my car to a transmission shop; after they tore down the transmission they found extensive damage. I was told that the 2nd gear thruster barring had fallen into the pump which destroyed it, 2nd gear was completely destroyed, the electrical cylinder was damaged beyond repair, and the remaining 3 gear thruster bearings had also fallen out. In the end it cost me over $3000 ($2000 in parts alone) and almost 2 months to repair the damage to my transmission.
While applying the accelerator pedal vehicle suddenly accelerated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and dealer informed consumer that transmission need to be replaced.
Transmission failure on 1999 honda accord v6 with only 56000 miles.
Complete failure of automatic transmission in 1999 honda accord ex 3.0 coupe with only 70,000 miles.
99 accord ex v6. Driving on expressway at about 40 MPH and accelerating. Transmission jolted the entire car shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, engine light came on and from that point on transmission was extremely sluggish and jolting during down shift or upshift. Took into dealer was informed it needed new transmission for $6500. This car has 67000 miles on it. Found several hundred complaints on the internet regarding automatic transmission failures exactly like mine in v6 accords exactly like mine. Honda extended warranty on 2000 and 2001 v6's to 7 yr/100k, but not 1998 or 1999. My car happens to be a 1999. When a class action suit is initiated, count me in. I will file formal complaint with american honda.
Transmission slips. There are only 92,000 miles on the car. Dealer advised that transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $5200 for a new transmission. This is higly unusual for a car 5 years old with less than 100,000 miles especially given that honda provided an extended warrantee on the same accord in 2000-2001.
While driving vehicle lurched forward, and stalled three times. Engine check warning indicator light illuminated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. Starter was replaced, and the dealer performed a valve job. Also, dealer recommended replacing the automatic transmission with a rebuilt transmission.
Internal torque converter problem; would not pass emissions; lock up not coming on in overdrive; requires replacement of cylinoids, torge, gasket seal, transmission fluid, and labor costs ($1241).
I have a 99 honda accord v6. My automatic transmision leaks fluid, it does not shift in a right gear.I a was on the hill shifted to d4 geear and my car went down and demadge my fence,
Transmission shifts out of gear intermittiently.
While driving 20 MPH, the automatic transmission did not shift properly. *jb the consumer was informed that the new transmissions have updated carrier bearings. The original transmission had defective carrier bearings which spread metal debris throughout the transmission and caused the failure. The consumer sent a petition letter but did no received any notification from odi whether it was received or what possible action would be taken.
The transmission in my 1999 honda accord ex v-6 failed on february 26, 2004. The car has 66,800 miles on it. It does not make sense to me why there has not been an extended warranty implemented on this model year as there has been on the 2000-2001 accord and the '99-'01 odyssey. After speaking with the shop foreman at my honda dealer and him revealing to me that they perform approximately 3-5 transmission replacements each week on the honda accord('98-'01), I thought it highly suspect that nothing has been done to rectify the prolem to other years in this model.
Consumer complained about a transmission problem. While driving transmission goes in and out of gear. Also, when driving down hill or on a bumpy road vehicle will lunge forward involuntarily.
Transmission slips horribly; gears are all screwed up; torque convert clutch circuit malfunction ; almost got hit by an 18 wheeler when crossing an intersection; was told that it is a very common problem in 1999 v6 accords. *ak engine error code: p0740
Every time I would accelerate, my car would stall then the car would give a strong jerk.I took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. After repeated attempts at the dealership, they offered to replace transmission for a ridiculous charge of ~$ 5,000 since my warranty period had passed.why does honda issue a recall on the 2000+ models and not any other ones. This defective component poses a serious threat for my children and me.
I just purchased a 1999 honda accord exv6 coupe from the original owner who kept excellent records on the scheduled maintaince according to the factory manual. The complaint I have is that the automatic transmission is failing with only 60,000 miles on the car. I have read where the honda recalled 16000 accords with transmission problems and replaced them on 2000 and 2001 accords. Why are they allowed to skip the 1999 problems? Something must be done about this thank you for your time. Larry weinstein.
The automatic transmission does not shift correctly. The problem I am having is that the engine speeds up and then the transmission shift into gear. The causes the tires to break loose causing the car to loose traction and when the tires regain their grip on the road the car darts out into traffic.
The transmission is slipping on a 1999 honda accord 2 door. There is severe jerky motion between shifts. Also while slowing down and trying to accelerate again the car lunges forward violently with what seems to be double gear shift. My family owns the 4 door version of the car also, which does not have such symptoms. Out of 7 people I know who also owns the accord, 3 people have such problems. The problem persists to date. Honda claims that since it does not occur with "many" of production cars, it will not issue a recall! This is outrageous!
1999 honda accord v6, transmission failure. 2000 through 2002 had warranties extended.
I have a 1999 honda accord v6 ex sedan. It currently has approximately 56,000 miles on it, and much to my surprise the vehicle has required a new transmission @ 55,000. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle and is mentioned on many internet forums. The cost of replacing this tranmission is rather substantial. The 00-01 models have an extended warranty from honda on the transmission for 7 years and 100,000 miles, but for some reason the 1998-1999 models were left out even though they were the same generation vehicles. I almost got rear ended a few times due to transmission slippage. I hope some action can be taken to have the warranty extended to include the 1998 to 1999 honda also.
While driving at 30 MPH automatic transmission failed. Consumer stated that many 1999 honda accords had transmission failures at 60000 miles.
The automatic transmission stalls for 2 or 3 seconds and there is a lost of power before the car begins to move forward. Near accident when trying to merge on the interstate. Dealership advised that this is a common problem on honda accord v6 coupes with automatic transmissions. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. Dealership offered to replace transmission with a rebuilt for $ 3,000. The car randomly accelerates and decelerates in stop and go traffic. No problems when the car crosses 35 MPH on the interstate.
Automatic transmission failure at 53k!. Transmission suddenly jerked car forward at stop light forcing it into intersection. Dealership diagnosed as a transmission failure and that it needs to be replaced. No extended warrant from honda for '99 models. Unless honda takes care of its defective parts it will be my last honda. Very dangerous situation!
